Yes, it is the same beardie and i did get things all cleared up, the pattern on his scales were just darker than normal for some reason. Anyway, I have a 20 gallon tank, a ZooMed ReptiSun 10.0 Fluorescent Bulb (15 watts I believe), The bulb is about 4 or 5 months old, so I need to get a new one soon, and it is sitting on top of the screen of the tank (about 5 or 6 inches above the basking area). I use a heat gun thermometer, I'm not sure what brand though. The temps of his tank are:
Cool side: 78-79 (f)
Basking area: 100 (f)
under his basking area (basking area is a hammock): 90 (f)
He has been eating less for just the bast couple days, and he eats when he normally does, just in smaller portions. He is is pooping normally, but I have not had a fecal check.
Today he seemed to be back to his old self which is good. He was awake and alert and he ate as much as he normally does. There was about a week or so in the region where I live that it was colder than normal, so I'm starting to think that maybe that had something to do with it (I hope).
Is there anything else that I might have left out that would be helpful to figure out whats happening?
